Testimonial for Erin Stertz-Follett, Hypnobirthing Educator & Doula
Our amazing baby girl (and first born) arrived two weeks ago and I am immensely grateful to say that I was able to experience a beautiful, natural and drug-free birth. I can not imagine going into this experience without having first attended Erin's Hypnobirthing classes and having her at our side during (before and after) labor. Preparing my body and mind with the Hypnobirthing methods and education cultivated an extremely positive and confident outlook for our birth; without this foundation I most certainly would have experienced fear (of the unknown) and pain that could have been unbearable to the point that I would have asked for drugs before giving my body the chance to try without. Erin is an exceptional guide; infusing sensitivity, humor, reality and kindness just where it's needed. She tailors her approach to your specific needs and prefernces. Seeing her smiling face meet us at the hospital door on the night I went into labor immediately put me at ease and I remained that way for the duration of the birth. Attending her class was a profound experience for my husband as well; we both learned relaxation and visualization techniques that have carried over into other parts of our life. Erin provided unwavering support and comfort during the birth for my husband as well.
The amount of time, detail and effort Erin put into seeing us through the last month of the pregnancy, the birthing experience, postpartum resources and assistance was immeasurably valuable. Erin went far beyond our expectations with her efforts and completely wowed us with everything she did. I so wish that more women (and babies!) could experience this type of loving care. We really can't express enough how grateful and happy we are...
